Probably by the layer they found it in, in which they would have performed carbon-14 dating on any organic material.

How does one date a brooch to 1300 years old? What a silly question. Why, by the pawn shop tag affixed to it of course. :-)

How does one date a brooch to 1300 years old? One way would be to find it associated with coins which could be assessed as to age-- the reign of a particular sovereign, for example.
